The poem Feeling is full of strange images, and there is no obvious clue to the connection between these images. The whole poem is like a riddle that is difficult to solve.
The first poem "Canye" reminds us of similar images often seen in China's classical poems, such as "Frost Forest" in "Who is Drunk at Dawn" and "Yellow Leaves in the Mountain", but the "blood" behind it makes people feel uneasy. "Life is a smile on the lips of death" is even less like China traditional culture, especially Taoism. Li Jinfa's understanding of life and death is full of modernism. He saw that life and death are very close, and life is vulnerable to death: "Residual leaf" is the state that "leaf"' s life is coming to an end. They are as red as blood, and the fallen leaves remind the poet of the fragility of life. Death is cruel, life disappears in his gentle smile and never comes back. Life and death are impermanent, which makes people want to drink crazy songs in a limited life and enjoy the happiness in the world as much as possible. And "cracking throat/drifting with the north wind", such as loneliness in the wilderness, drives people to seek comfort and warmth in mutual snuggling: "comfort the person you love", and love seems to be the best way to resist the fear of death and loneliness. However, the poet doubts whether people can really communicate with each other: "Open your account." Long-term wandering makes people long for sympathy, understanding and love, but at the same time they are shy because of their doubts about others and want to stick to their loneliness. My heart is full of contradictions. Li Jinfa has lived in France for many years. This unforgettable experience combined with his understanding of life deepened his understanding of "life is like sending". Love and life and death are intertwined in this way, forming "Is this the shyness/anger of life?" Feelings. The last paragraph is repeated with the beginning to form a circle, and the structural "circle" corresponds to the process of life, which further deepens the sadness of this poem about life.
Li Jinfa's poems deliberately learn to imitate symbolic poetry, trying to peep into another more real world through the superficial world, ignoring the appearance of the external world, but turning his eyes to the inside, digging out what is beyond the scope of logical language in the depths of consciousness and exploring all kinds of life, death and human nature. Its significance lies in opening up the field of poetry expression (which is also a very important aspect of life), making China start the experiment of modernist poetry and increasing the hazy beauty of poetry. Its disadvantage is that the extreme personalization of feelings blocks the way for others to understand his poems deeply. In language, Li Jinfa pursues the combination of classical Chinese and Europeanization, but obviously his combination is not so perfect, which increases the obscurity of his poems. The same is true of the poem Feeling. Although his unique understanding of life and love is decadent, it also has the sobriety of a wise man. The use of strange images (such as Canye, Smile on Death's Lips and Half-dead Moon) and his unique way of thinking provide new ideas for how to write new poems, and his mistakes in language adventure provide valuable reference for future generations.
